QTR Print Tool/Poster board front feed

QTR Print Tool/Poster board front feed

2017-05-05 by skapuskar@...

I'm printing digital negs on an Epson P800 with the front feed poster board setting to prevent the typical pizza wheel marks on the transparent material (mounted on a piece of rigid poster board).
If I use QTR to print the OHP, I have the paper source option 'front feed-poster board', all is well here.

On the contrary, if I use the ABW mode (Advanced Black + White mode) without QTR to print, the 'front feed-poster board' option does not show up (only 'fine art paper' which requires the rear latch to be open for semi rigid material) and 'sheet feed'.

Did someone get front feed-poster board working with the ABW mode?

Thanks for any advice,
Sidney

I'm not sure of your exact issue, but note that in the Epson driver (i.e. ABW) the "paper feed"
selection is part of the paper size selection not in the print dialog. So you first pick
the paper size with Front Poster Board, then in the print dialog you pick paper type and ABW.
(you need Color Matching to be Epson Controls to get into ABW)

Thank you Ray, problem solved!

Indeed, using Print Tool and QTR as the final printer driver, the paper feed can be selected at the very end, regardless of the paper size.

With Print Tool and ABW, the poster board option needs to be selected in the paper size setting of Print Tool.
